This is West Bay Opera's first production ever of I due Foscari. Based on Lord Byron's historical play of the same name, it tells the story of Francesco Foscari, the Doge of Venice. His 34-year rule ended tragically in 1457, when he saw his son Jacopo sentenced to exile for treason. He was later forced to abdicate and died soon thereafter.  This opera was one of Verdi's most important early successes. The powerful score has beautiful arias, ensembles and choral music and it requires virtuosic singing and orchestral playing. We present it unabridged and fully staged, set in the splendor of early renaissance Venice.
